I think it's fair to say the Mirage is one of the more simplistic new cars on the road today for sure. My car is a 2013 build, so a 2020 or beyond Mirage is that much more retro. Also sorta a kinda Volkswagen Beetle like economical car.
My biggest beef with my Mirage after 5 and a half years of owning one now, is not the slower powertrain, or the small size making it you have to be more careful driving.
My biggest beef with my Mirage is the car's ride in wintertime driving. Not the handling part, but the ride. The car is just too puny to take the sort of jarringly bad roads my neck of the woods can have, especially on road closure scenarios.
